Abstract
The article presents a historical analysis of the theory of criminal law and criminal procedure in Croatian legal thought, from the 18th century Political-cameral studies to present-time activities of the Department of Criminal Law and the Department of Criminal Procedure of the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb. The author, inter alia, provides a critical analysis of the contributions of scholars affiliated with these two Departments in the past, among which the most notable are the contributions of Josip Šilović, Stanko Frank, Bogdan Zlatarić, Vladimir Bayer, Mirjan Damaška, Franjo Bačić, Zvonimir Šeparović, Željko Horvatić and Petar Novoselec. The author concludes that their scholarship substantially influenced the development of Croatian criminal law, criminal procedural law, criminology, penology, victimology and related sciences; while their social, judicial and political engagement substantially contributed to the rule of law in Croatia.
